The complete guide to renting a jet ski on the Treasure Coast — 6 locations, pricing, what to expect, and how to book.
The Treasure Coast of Florida — spanning Indian River, St. Lucie, and Martin counties — offers some of the best jet ski riding conditions in the entire state. The Indian River Lagoon, which runs the full length of the Treasure Coast, is calm, clear, and protected from Atlantic swells, making it ideal for first-time riders and experienced enthusiasts alike. Add resident bottlenose dolphin pods, manatees, and sea turtles to the mix, and you have a jet ski experience that is genuinely unlike anything else in Florida.
Salty’s Water Sports is the Treasure Coast’s largest jet ski rental operator, with six locations: Fort Pierce (Hutchinson Island), Jensen Beach, Port Saint Lucie, Vero Beach, Stuart, and Sebastian. As Florida’s only official Sea-Doo partner on the East Coast, every Salty’s jet ski is a brand-new Sea-Doo GTX — the most advanced personal watercraft on the market.
| Session | Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 30 minutes | From $70 | First-timers, quick thrill |
| 1 hour | From $120 | Exploring the lagoon |
| 2 hours | From $200 | Dolphin tour route |
| Half day (4 hrs) | From $350 | Full lagoon exploration |
| Full day | Call for pricing | Groups, special occasions |
Each Sea-Doo GTX holds 1–2 adults plus one small child. Life jackets in all sizes are provided. No prior experience is required — Salty’s provides a full safety briefing before every session, and the GTX’s intelligent braking and stability hull make it easy for first-time riders.
Florida law requires anyone born after January 1, 1988 to have a boating safety certificate to operate a personal watercraft. If you don’t have one, Salty’s offers an on-site boating license test that takes about 15 minutes and costs $13.97. You can complete it right at the dock before your session — no advance preparation needed.
All six Salty’s locations offer the same brand-new Sea-Doo GTX fleet and the same expert guides. The best choice depends on where you’re staying. Fort Pierce (Hutchinson Island) is the flagship location and the best choice for dolphin tours — the resident pod near the Fort Pierce Inlet is the most reliably spotted on the Treasure Coast. Jensen Beach (Sandpiper Bay) is ideal for resort guests and sunset cruise add-ons. Port Saint Lucie is the only location offering the exclusive Gator & Wildlife Tour. Vero Beach, Stuart, and Sebastian are great choices for guests staying in those areas.
Three things set Salty’s apart from other Treasure Coast jet ski rental operators. First, the fleet: every ski is a current-model Sea-Doo GTX, not an aging rental unit. Second, the guides: Salty’s captains are USCG-licensed naturalists who know exactly where to find dolphins, manatees, and the lagoon’s hidden sandbars. Third, the location: the Indian River Lagoon’s calm, clear water is dramatically better for jet skiing than the ocean-based or rough-water alternatives available elsewhere on Florida’s East Coast.
